Benefit for
Ness Aquino
11-10 and
11-11-07
By Ginger Coyote
The
Saturday, Nov. 10, 2007 benefit show to help raise funds for
former Mabuhay Gardens Owner Ness Aquino had some obstacles
to overcome especially when Club 443 informed Kathy Peck -that
the music had to end by 10 PM... But being the ever professional
Kathy was able to re-schedule all the bands and the show went on
as planned.. Another major set back was the rain. But with all
that the show did well...
I
heard that all the bands performed a great show...
The Sunday show had perfect weather.. It was a fun show and so
many familiar faces came to show support to Ness Aquino... The
best surprise was Ness coming along with his son Troy and niece
Olivia.. Ness was so happy to see all the people who came out to
pay tribute to him and although he was frail and had trouble
walking- His mind was in tact and he still had that sense of humor
.. All the bands rocked.. H.E.A.R. and TnT Productions were able
to present Ness with $1,000 after expenses... Sadly this was the
last show that TnT Productions would be presenting at Club 443..
The club has decided to stay a hip hop club.. But what better way
to leave than to pay homage to NESS AQUINO who along with Dirk
Dirksen made it all possible for so many.......
Below is a list of all the wonderful people that Kathy Peck would
like to thank...
